WorkReady for NHTI Students - 2 Week Intensive Workshops

The WorkReadyNH program at NHTI helps job seekers and career builders improve their skills and add a nationally recognized credential to their resume. WorkReadyNH provides 60 hours of classroom instruction in "soft skills" practices identified by employers as key to workplace success. The National Career Readiness Certificate is an evidence-based, portable credential from ACT and used in all 50 states in the hiring process to reduce hiring costs and ensure workplace success and retention.

We will offer another NHTI Students Workshop session during the summer – time to be determined. Call us at 271-6484 4414 or e-mail us to be put on a waiting list if interested.

The 14th Annual Multicultural Day is coming!

Are you an NHTI ESOL Student interested in showing your college a little bit about your native country, language, food, music traditions and artifacts? Are you an NHTI student interested in learning about the cultural diversity at NHTI?

On Tuesday, April 8, 2014, the Cultural Exchange Club and the Office of Cross-Cultural Education & ESOL will be hosting its Multicultural Day in the Wellness Center. Participants will have tables where they can display the many aspects of their native countries to the rest of their NHTI community.

If you are an NHTI student interested in reserving a table for this event, please contact either the president of Cultural Exchange Club Puja Patel, or club advisors Aaron Hughes or Margaret Landsman, or drop by the Office of Cross-Cultural Education & ESOL in Sweeney Hall, Room 301, 230-4055.

Devon Murphy: Oddments, Doodles, and Drawings

Devon Murphy’s sculptures and furniture are now on display at the NHTI library. His show runs through the end of March, with a closing reception on Sunday, March 30th from 5 - 7 pm. The artist will be there to answer any questions and will make sure there are delicious snacks on hand.

"Lightning," a sculpture by Devon Murphy

Devon Murphy, a mixed media sculptor, is fascinated by how things are put together. Using his love of bold colors and repetitive shapes, he works predominantly in glass, metal, and wood. For this particular show, he has assembled a mix of two bodies of work. One utilizes hot poured glass and fine woodworking. The other includes furniture and “Wood Doodles” made from scrap pine and MDO plywood that are mounted on the walls.

Devon, the son of NHTI English professor Cathy Eaton, graduated from Massachusetts College of Arts and Design, majoring in sculpture. He is available for commission work. If he is not in the studio, he is probably out rock climbing or enjoying the outdoors. He just returned from climbing and camping for ten weeks in Mexico. In the fall, he will be pursuing his MFA in sculpture.

Visit his website, devonmurphyart.com, to see more of his work and to see photographs capturing his work process.
